BEATEN BY MASKED MEN.
Invasion of the House of a Sleeping
Citizen of Gilmer.

Elttjay (Gd.) Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
The Courier has developed one OF the
biggest sensations ever recorded in North
Georgia. On Sunday night the family OF
John K. Newberry was reposing in sleep,
and the first intimation he had of impend-
ing danger was the unlocked for appear
ance of three burly men disguised, with a
lamp, a double barrel shotgun and 80
CALDER Smith IL Wesson pistol. He jumped
out of bed and they proceeded to beat b i'm
with a large hickory stick about four
feet long, twisted at one end. the other
end being about as large as a
mans wrist. During the melee which
ensued Newberry's wife tore away the
masks of two of them, and saw VINO they
were. He told them If they would let him
go he would not tell who they We're,
whereupon they replied with an oath that
they would kill him. His wife seized the
gun and wrenched it from the man who
held 1t, when he grabbed her by the hair
OF her head and jerked her down. They
then seized Newberry by the hair of his
head and dragged him some twenty steps
from the house and knocked HIM down
with a maui, and, thinking him dead,
skipped out, Newberry and his wife
fought desperately for their lives, and
when they dragged him out Of the house
her screams brought David Fowler, a
brother-in-law Of Newberry, who lives
about 300 yards from his house. Fowler
hurriedly dressed, and ran over to see
what was the cause OF the alarm. He
found Newberry in an unconscious con-
dition. his shoulders. the back of his neck
and head terribly beaten and bruised.
Had the blow on the neck been little
lower or higher his neck would have been
broken or his skull fractured. His body
Monday morning was bloodshot and black
looking, and his neck swollen larger than
a mans double fist. Monday morning j.
=. Fowler was coming to Elliiay TO meet
his brother from Atlanta, and on coming
10 alittle stream about aquarter of a mile
this side Newberry's house ne found
note In a split stick stuck in the path near
the foot-log on the side toward the house,
which read:
"If anything Is said or sworn in court,
some ID revenue reporter VIII be
killed, if rifle gun from the bushes will
do it,"
This threat was Interpreted as an in
timidation to prevent anything being done
in court about the transaction. Newberry
unny. nnsed for reporting men in that
amusementoo the revenue department,
syerly ess- affair is supposed 70 be the out
,SfS%th OF malice toward him from some
parties who suspected him of being an
informer. A brother of Newberry stated
to prominent young attorney IN this
place that some other party had been re-
porting violations Of the revenue, and
gave his brothers. name as a witness, and
when required 10 he swore what he knew
as a truthful man.

confined within the grounds Of his royal
prison Of Turstenried He reads all the
newspapers he can get hold OF with
avidity, but Of course the doctors take
care nothing reaches his hands which
shall tend to upset his mental equilibrium
and make him excited. He takes great
interest in the royal kitchen, and often
times slips down stairs into the culinary
department, examines the pots and pans,
and now and again experiments in the
concoction Of tidbits and dainty dishes
with more or less success. Quite recently
he burned his fingers while engaged in
this somewhat unkingly pursuit. The poor
fellow is very anxious 20 see his capital,

of the palace, catches a glimpse of the
spires and chimneys of Munich he i'm

EFFECTS ON THE STAGE.
Fisatirs Ice-A Raft scese-Mariss 4
fscts-Moenlight Ripplss-Catarasts-

AsSts"hSS"hSht e~ss-
The old and much abused effect Of floating
ice shown in Uncle Toms Cabin" where
Eliza crosses the Ohio and avoids her pur-
suers, was originally done with set waters
and old soap boxes that were mounted On
rollers and pulled from side TO side by means
of ropes. Then the effect wss bottercd BY
covering thess boxes with . ssa-cloth which
h piece OF canvas painted in imitation of
water At last a platform hung on heavy
bolts with two small rockers was substituted
and is still in use. The raft scene In The
World was produced by having = man at
each ono of the entrances who kept shaking
the sea cloth while the scens was on. This
was improved by having q number Of boys
kneel under the cloth and give il motion by
raising and lowering their shoulders. Then
the barrel roller came into usa. This con-
sists Of . long cylindrical frame covered
with irregular shaped pieces Of wood painted
to represent a sea. Several OF these rollers
used at one time are effective. They are
controlled by a man who sets them in motion
by turning a crank This idea is used in the
scene Of the old sluics house in "Alone in
London
The best marine or water effect Is secured
by painting sea and building q number of
waves eliptical in form and fastening them
together by mean of elastic bands. These
waves when set in motion from either side
Of the stage by means Of pulley are very
delusive. The beach effect where the tide Is
sen to be in mOtion-that Is. whers the
water comes up to the shore and then re-
codes only to return again in another wavs
is done by covering the stage first with a
sand cloth. The cloth is painted not only to
look like sand but is sanded as wen. Over
this il spread the sea cloth attached 20 heavy
sand bags that hang underneath ths stage by
means Of ropes that run through the floor
When the cord holding the sea cloth is re-
leased the heavy sand bags lraw il away
from the set rocks and bank and a. the undsr
part Of the sea cloth is also well sanded the
swash Of the water is very nicely initiated.
When the cloth has been drawn as far as
necessary the operator has but 10 pull it
back again and then 60 over the same per-
formance until the scene is done. This effect
is expensive.
For moonlight ripples and shadows slashss
are cut in the painted waters behind which
colored silken cloths are hung These cloths
are sometimes spangled. The silken sheen
showing through these siashes produces q
good effect. Waterfalls are produced by
means Of an endless roller IF canvas or by
directing a stream Of real water over a
trestle @ lei in with real stones and ferns and
mashed in on either side by set waters. The
roller idea is seldom seen nowadays The
difference between these two systems can be
appreciated by those who can remember the
original production of THE Cataract Of the
Ganges'' and the spectacle of tho BLACK
Crook Philadelphia Item.

shut Up within its walls, q remembrance Of
the vague old idea Of their pctency-al this
and more, TO many minds, has as Euch
force as the inherent beauty of tbs thing
itself. Who knows what spirit, what ons Of
the genii, what enthusiastically commanded
sprits is shut up in the fiery depths of the
ruby, with It's purple blue corners, Of tho
pigeon blood tinse, in the heavenly color and
orilliancy Of the sapphire, in the sea green
water depths Of emerald or heryf
There is always a fascination in its sparkle,
both when we wear il and ses another wear
it, or when We lift it from its dark hiding
place in the casket where we keep II, as it
looks up at US with its lidleSs deathless glance
Of beauty. But bit Of glass, however pref

made by q man, according to a formula
what spell can the most vivid ims gination

fetal gem-mere love OF show and glitter and
ostentation enter into that. Bazaar.
